I have been desperately trying to figure out how to make my headers skip the first page of a chapter. My chapters do NOT have titles so a Running Header won't work. My left header is the Author's name, the right header is the Book title.
How do I format the headers so they do not appear on the first page of each chapter?
Thanks,
Doc Adams
The best way is to apply a different master page to chapter openings.
Make 2 master pages: one with running headers, one without. Apply the one without to all your chapter openings.
You could also try to mask the running header on the chapter opening with an anchored object that is anchored to the chapter title, but that's a kludge...

Just select the running headers you want to remove using ctrl/cmd + shift and then delete.

Seems very simple. I'll give it a try.

And you can use this technique to delete the folios you may not want to appear in the front matter (for example).

Hi,
I'm here!
You could take a look at:
One master double page and a "Chapter" para style (see pages 1, 3, 7, 15 & 23.
No current header on these pages! … and no anchored frame as "mask"!
Nothing to do, just … totally automatic!
How? 2 simple para rules!

ID gives you basically a simple way to do it!

Hi there,
My method is to set the para style of the chapter header:
Paragraph rules - Rule above
with 'Rule on' checked,
'Color' is set to 'Paper',
and 'Weight' and 'Offset' and 'Indents' set in a way that it would exactly cover the header of that page.
Master Obi-wan, was it your trick?

Hi,
As I said, I use 2 para rules: a rule above to vertically move the Chapter title and a rule below to mask the header!
I can do it in 1 click because I've written a script to calculate the y-offset of the last line of the "Chapter title" para!
In the video, I use one single script that includes all the layout steps, especially this one that defines the beginning of the page following the first Chapter page!
… but, of course, if I don't need to vertically move the Chapter title, I could use the same way you propose! …
